Greetings:

Newbie to <taskdef> question:

I'm trying to implement Patrick Beard's jlink as an ant task.

I'm to the point where I'm testing my first build file, but I get

BUILD FAILED

No JAXP compliant XML parser found. See http://java.sun.com/xml for the
reference implementation.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

However, using ant -verbose, I verify that I have

xml4j.jar

on java.class.path.  And, buildfiles that do not use <taskdef> work fine.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Matt

P.S. I think it would be good to have a "plugin" functionality in ant, where jars for new tasks could be dropped into a directory and loaded into ant without the <taskdef> stuff. I know this was mentioned a few days ago (see "Automatic loading of classes"), but, according to Frederic Lavigne, the changes were not incorporated into CVS.
